Everybody's the minority at least once. And this is ridiculous: Objectively the baathist are more in line with Western values, but they are unlikely to be in the service of the occupying forces. This leaves the fundies and i believe that the majority prefers them against the wall instead of being here What kind of "fundies" are in the service of the occupying forces? And if you're talking fundamentalists in Iraq, you're talking "the people the vast majority of non-Kurdish Iraqis vote for". I’m sorry, but that’s repellent. Everybody’s the minority at least once.

What kind of “fundies” are in the service of the occupying forces? And if you’re talking fundamentalists in Iraq, you’re talking “the people the vast majority of non-Kurdish Iraqis vote for”.

Every few years elections which their man won. They even could handle it when their man didn't win (like in Roumania) but they will use force if their enemies seem to win. Saddam won elections with 99.87% of the vote. This was not true of all the Warsaw countries. Often the We-will-always-follow-the-communist farmers party got something like 20% It is not their politics i find objectionable but their way of life. I don't trust people who so obvious betray their country. Objectively the baathist are more in line with Western values, but they are unlikely to be in the service of the occupying forces.

Wasn't Iraq pre-invasion actually not much different to that? More broadly, do you usually want people whose politics you disagree with beheaded? Or is this a special case?

The overlap between those two groups isn't that large especially considering that the US want a DDR type democracy in Iraq. Interpreters, at least who don't work for the resistance, are plainly traitors and should be dealt with as the traitors they are. What has

Interpreters, at least who don’t work for the resistance, are plainly traitors and should be dealt with as the traitors they are.

In my view any Iraqi that requests asylum in the US should be granted that.

What can a US citizen do to help resettle Iraqi refugees? I'm not a part of a church, or the owner of a large business that theoretically could employ people. Any ideas?
